Item Details

Description

Ancient Near East, Cyprus, late Cypriot I, ca. 1600 to 1050 BCE. A set of 2 pottery vessels called bilbils, each with a flared foot, an apple-shaped body, a curving handle, and a flared rim atop a slender neck.

Size: 2.2" L x 1.4" W x 4.6" H (5.6 cm x 3.6 cm x 11.7 cm)

Provenance: private Lake Worth, Florida, USA collection, acquired via descent in April 1997; ex-private American collection in Cyprus, acquired between 1957 to 1969, brought to USA in 1969
